Uma aplicação pedagógica da terminologia: um dicionario escolar de ciências

Abstract

After the establishment of the importance of the technical dictionary as the principal instrument in the collection and recovery of scientific facts, as well as a reference and research instrument, a proposal is made to develop a dictionary of Sciences for basic education. The Comunicative Theory of Terminology was chosen as a theoretical-methodological support. The choice is due to the fact that it deals with living specialized knowledge, that is, knowledge as the fruit of actual specialized communication established among interlocutors. A sample of preliminary results is included.
